Florian is a consultant solicitor in the corporate team, based at MBM Commercial’s London office, specialising in mergers and acquisitions, corporate finance and investment work.
Florian has also worked for in-house legal departments through secondments at Citigroup and Goldman Sachs in London and Airbus Group in Paris.
Florian grew up in a small Bavarian town, but likes neither football nor beer. Since settling in the UK 15 years ago, he has enjoyed traveling to the far-flung corners of the globe. Clients may occasionally find him working remotely. While Florian is perfectly fluent in English, his first foreign language was in fact Latin, which he studied for nine years. Sadly for him, the use of old fashioned Latin words in legal documents is now discouraged.
